A Shot in The Dark

13

Thirty minutes reading over a few sheets of paper, all of which made Eric feel overwhelmed. He truly wanted to just sign the damn thing and hand it to Ryan, but he knew the man wouldn't take it unless he felt he read over everything.

Eric flipped to the next page, which had been the questionnaire; none of which he marked. Skimming over the list of kinks he mentally marked as 'maybe'. Not that he was against letting the doms do it, but he had his own bad experiences with it.

Frustrated he closed the packet, placing it back into the folder and rolling onto his back. Eric wanted to figure this all out on his own, without relying on everyone even if it meant that he would get pissed off. He sat up in the bed and roamed out of the room into the hall, where it had been quiet, and everyone was asleep. It had reminded him of the night he snuck out and felt a pang of guilt, Sebastian's own words echoing in his head. Things seemed fine now that he returned, but how bad had it been when they found out he was gone.

Eric halted at Ryan's office door, slowly turning the knob and walking inside. Ryan had trusted them enough with the room and computer password, but something about the gesture made him feel also cautious, like he was walking in a trap.

He roamed towards the computer, clicking the machine to life where he was met with a wallpaper of a Ryan, though he had looked younger in the picture and next to him was an older woman in a sunflower dress. She looked somewhat familiar, yet Eric couldn't tell why the woman did.

He logged in and opened the browser, the first thing he searched for was the 'cock cage'. He had seen it on the contract and he out two and two together when Sebastian mentioned it to Charlie. Eric scrolled through the images, all different colors and sizes and with enough courage he moved towards the videos. Where a man, who was obviously naked, and Eric wasn't an avid porn watcher, but he needed to learn somehow.

The man placed the cage onto his own cock, shutting it and placing a lock at the hinges of the opening. Eric didn't understand the appeal of not being able to get hard, let alone control if you could. Obviously not his type of thing and moved on to the next kink.

A soft tick echoed in the small space and Eric peered over the desktop, where a sleepy Charlie stood watching him with half-closed eyes.

"Why are you up?"

"Looking up stuff in the contract."

Charlie nodded and picked up a small chair in the room dragging it next to Eric and placing himself close enough to see the screen as well. "Well, what did you get so far?"

Eric shrugged. "I like ropes, cuffs, things like that...maybe I want to try choking?"

"Okay....so rope bunny. What about edging?"

Eric groaned; he was relying on Charlie again. "It's...I will figure that out."

"Okay, I won't push."

Relieved, he continued searching while Charlie sat in silence watching him.

The two of them spent all night in Ryan's office and eventually Charlie moved towards the couch and slept there. Eric Stretched his arms over his body, pulling at his muscles with a soft moan then relaxing back into the chair. His gaze landing on the small tablet he borrowed from the desk to write all the kinks he wanted to try and ones he was most definitely not into.

"Are you done yet?" Charlie mumbled.

"Yep, I'm gonna go fill out the contract and stuff." Eric said standing from the chair and shutting off the computer.

Charlie didn't even try to move from the couch and continue to slumber and Eric let him, leaving the office silently and back into the hall, heading towards his room.

Charlie didn't even try to move from the couch and continue to slumber and Eric let him, leaving the office silently and back into the hall, heading towards his room. The small folder remained on his bed where he left it and Eric shuffled towards it opening it again and this time filling out the form confidently.

He didn't know how long time passed, but he was tired and fell asleep.

Eric could feel something prodding at his body and shifted in the bed to move away from whatever was disturbing his sleep. Though the prodding continued, and he swatted at whoever it was, earning a soft chuckle.

"Eric wake up, its noon, you need to eat."

"No, I wanna sleep." he groaned.

A soft sigh followed, and he could feel the mattress under him lower more. "While I get you want to sleep in, we got things to do today."

Eric peeled his eyes open, slowly lifting himself onto his knees. Beside him Sebastain sat watching him keenly and he felt ashamed considering he knew he looked a mess versus Sebastian. Who was dressed in a dark loose shirt and jeans and part of him wanted to kiss the man. How did I get so lucky to get this guy waking me up?

"What do you mean?"

Sebastian smiled. "Well today we are taking you to a special place."

Eric let out an odd noise. "Which is?"

"You'll find out."

Sebastian stood from the bed, giving Eric one final, slow glance. His eyes lingering on his bare legs then turned towards the door.
